Savam

<p>Shavam’s plot focuses on the unexpected death of an adult in a middle-class Christian family and the funeral process in home, where neighbors, relatives and friends of the dead person are gathered. The camera movement manipulates the viewer to look through the eyes of a curious unknown who goes around the nooks and corners of the house, and whose presence is equally neglected and acknowledged. The film presents insensitivity and actual prominence of the death and its emptiness reflect in current worldview. Media lists the film as an exposition of local culture in a satirical way. The ability of the director’s stubbornness to clip-on its viewers to the narrative was well praised. The seminal film of the director has been an official selection to eight international film festivals and won the award for the best foreign film at Barni International Festival, Moscow.</p>
